Heritage and Commitment

We take our Catholic, Jesuit roots seriously. It is interwoven into everything, from academics to athletics to community service.

Men and Women for Others

A Le Moyne education encourages students to integrate contemplation and action, so they become men and women with well­-developed minds, generous hearts and reflective souls - “agents of change” who work to bring about a more just, humane world.

Commitment to Service

Service is more than “the right thing to do.” It’s what makes us human, makes us whole. As a Le Moyne student, service will be woven into everything you do, from the community project in your history or English class to the afternoon you spend serving dinner at a local soup kitchen. Learn more

Ever since St. Ignatius of Loyola established the Society of Jesus in 1534, the Jesuits have focused much of their efforts on education and service to others. As envisioned by its founder, Jesuits and their lay collaborators seek to “find God in all things,” dedicated to the tenet of cura personalis – the care and development of the whole person, mind, body and soul.

Commitment to Social Justice

In the classroom and beyond, social justice is at the core of all that we do at Le Moyne. It is the fabric of our Jesuit identity. As a student, you will learn to think for yourself and about others, asking questions about the world in which we live – and the one you want to inherit. Learn more

I will forever be grateful for that." - Kate Waltman, ’13, MBA ’16, founder Step Up Moment
